Examples
-

-
The first of these consisted of a shallow Marey tambour, placed horizontally upon a table with its rubber film upwards, and connected by means of rubber-tubing with a pneumographic pen in contact with the revolving drum of a kymograph.
-
A Deprez electric marker, aligned with the pneumographic stylus, afforded a time record in quarter seconds.
-
